I may have to sue Fanatics or Fedex-UPDATED 5/8/25 AT END OF THREAD

[sb1]

I had a consignor/board member send a package Fed EX to my residence last week, signature required, I was home all day and about 4;30 received an email alert from FedEx, package was delivered. I jumped up, knowing no one had rang the bell and assumed they just left it at the door and went on. Nope, nothing there. walked the 50 yards down the drive to the mailbox and a white box is leaning against the mail box in the 6" of snow we just got....

Had I not gotten the email, I would have never known and as the others the signature was a little short scribble.

Drivers are either too busy to complete their routes within the allotted time, or lazy. The USPS fairly often does not come to the door asking me to sign, they just leave it in the box or on the porch. I don't get much by Fed Ex, but they have always asked for a signature.

I agree. That's the bottom line. And until FedEx has to pay dearly, very dearly, for the situation, it's not going to change.

Like businesses selling goods budget for return costs, Fed Ex probably just sets aside a reserve for negligence or theft claims, and whatever internal reform would be necessary to reduce them probably isn't worth the cost.
